This week's KDI is reading- Children read for pleasure and information. We'll take a look at Tacky books and also read a non-fiction book about penguins to see how books are the same subject matter, but such different purposes!
Table Activities- This week you can make a penguin, enjoy a penguin sensory bin, play with penguins and fake ice, make some Winter Games Olympic medals, color some Tacky coloring pages, paint with Tacky, make some Hawaiian shirts and leis and have fun with some Tacky clay mats.
Thursday will be a "Dress Like Tacky Day", so wear your Hawaiian shirt and get a lei at school! We'll be "Tacky" all day!
Small Group Activities- This week we'll act out some Tacky stories at our tables, add Tacky to our journals and learn to draw a penguin.
Large Group Activities- We'll play some games like the penguins played at their Winter Games!
Books of the Week- "Tacky the Penguin" various titles by Helen Lester.
Bible Story of the Week- This week we are going to hear about Jesus resurrection!
After Jesus died on the cross, a man named Joseph from Arimathea volunteered to give Jesus his tomb. It was a cave in which Joseph and his family would be buried some day. Another man named Nicodemus, who had visited Jesus in the night, also came forward and helped prepare Jesus body for burial. They had to rush because it would soon be Passover Sabbath. They quickly washed Jesus and wrapped him in strips of linen. The women who had watched agreed to return early Sunday, when the Sabbath was finished. They wanted to do a more thorough job and give Jesus the burial that he deserved!
All was quiet on Saturday. The Chief Priest demanded that Pilate put a guard on the tomb since Jesus had said he would rise on the third day. They thought that perhaps his disciples would come and steal his body and say he had risen.
Sometime in the early hours of Sunday morning, an earthquake shook the tomb. The stone rolled away from the entrance and an angel came out and sat upon the stone. The guards fainted like dead men! When they woke, they fled. The women were on their way with spices and new linen, when they arrived at the tomb, they saw the angels who told them that Jesus was not dead, he was alive! They were to go and tell his disciples that he was risen, just as he said he would be!
The guards went to the Chief Priest and Pharisees and told them what had happened. They bribed the guards and told them to say that his disciples had come and stolen the body. They would run interference with Pilate so the guards wouldn't get in trouble for leaving their post.
Jesus was risen! These were the first of his appearings! He would go on to appear to over 500 people. Jesus is alive still today! What a blessing to know that because he lives, we also will live!
